Looks Tame, Right?
I just signed up for my second paddleboard race of the season! This time it’s an 8-miler along the beautiful east shore of Lake Tahoe. The 2013 Thunderbird Run is an out-and-back paddle between the beach at Sand Harbor and the historic Thunderbird Mansion. These two locations are among the most scenic in Tahoe and I figured what better way to see them than from a 10’6″ surfboard. This might very well fall under the category of “what the hell was I thinking?” as up until now the farthest I’ve ever paddled is 5 miles…and that was just a few weeks ago! Who knows, maybe it will be good training in case I decide to tackle bucket list item #70. Either way, I’m registered, excited, and can’t wait to share my experience once I get out to explore the most beautiful lake in the world.

When it comes to crazy-fun adventures, I’m not the only one here at First2Board who takes it to another level. Currently, Point Princess is riding her bike across the country, Jason at Food, Wine, and Miles just set a personal record for most airports in a day, Points Summary is in a different country every week it seems, and I’m sure Kathy (Will Run for Miles) is training hard for her next marathon. So what’s the craziest thing you’ve done so far this month?
